Just call the Denver Broncos' three-man backfield committee "rock, paper, scissors." Running backs Knowshon Moreno, Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball played the gesturing game on the sidelines to determine which of them would score a fourth-quarter touchdown against the Raiders on Monday night.

Hillman had done the work to get the Broncos to first-and-goal from the 1 with a 19-yard scamper. Throwing down rock while both Moreno and Ball showed scissors meant Hillman was "lucky" to get the carry to put the ball in the end zone.

"We were just messing around on the sideline," Hillman said after the game, a 37-21 victory over Oakland "Just something to do. Have fun."

Coach John Fox has evenly divided the workload between all three backs, making them interchangeable complements to Peyton Manning. While Moreno is the most experienced and trusted all-around back in terms of critical things such as pass protection and ball security, Hillman offers the best speed and Ball is a budding power back.

Last week, it was Moreno bursting for two touchdowns against the Giants. This week, Hillman (9 carries, 66 yards, TD) was the most productive against the Raiders. It could very well be the rookie Ball's breakout turn against the Eagles in Week 4.

Given the Broncos have the luxury of a near-perfect Manning picking apart defenses in the passing game, they can pretty much do whatever they want with their running game, and their running backs can pretty much do what they want. If Denver keeps lighting up opponents with ease, expect a lot more games of roshambo.
